If you're good you only need one to shoot and one spare in case somebody decides they don't like your nock color--or you shoot last. I have 3 tubes in my quiver so I usually carry 3.

Elkslayer4x5, what do you mean by "3 sets"?

"3 sets" = 9 arrows total, numberd 1,2,3....... used in animal rounds as each # arrow is scored depending on what # it has on it. 1 in spot is worth more then your 3rd try at it..

Not that good to just take 3 like you Bfisher I take 6 to 9 depending on How many targets...
